Disclaimer: Really wishing I owned Inuyasha right about now. Unfortunitally, I don't.
(Chapter 7: Woken Up The Demon)
"What? No! That can't be my Inuyasha! He wouldn't hurt anyone!" Kagome slumped off the
couch, her eyes turning blank, almost lifeless.
She stared at the black screen, of the television, her mind drifting into thought. Kagome was
way to caught up in confusion. She couldn't register what was happening around her.
"Kagome, I'm sorry, but...............that is Inuyasha. After the battle with Naraku, he tried to
get to your side of the well, but he couldn't do it without the jewel. The jewel had disappeared
after Miroku and Sango used it, so I'm just assuming it went back into your body. When Inuyasha
realized he couldn't get back to you, it woke up the demon blood in him, putting him in a blind rage.
We've all been searching for you and Inuyasha-sama since then. You're the only one who can snap
Inuyasha out of it, Kagome." Myoga, Inuyasha's old retainer, popped out from behind Sakura's furry,
dog-ear.
(AN: Ahehe.......Myoga's been there the whole time, but everyone just forgot about him. : P)
"Myoga! When did you get here, and why is Inuyasha only killing twenty-year old women," Kagome
questioned the old flea.
Myoga hopped onto Kagome's nose, sucking blood, until Kagome smacked him. He floated to the
ground, and Kagome reached out her hand to catch the flat flea. Once upon landing, Myoga seemed
to recover himself.
"Yes, well to answer your first question, I've been here the whole time. I'm just to small for anyone to notice
me anymore! Enough about me though, now onto Inuyasha-sama! He may be ignorant Kagome, but
Inuyasha-sama is not stupid. He knows you'd be twenty-years old by now, and as you know, demons can
tell a person's age by their scent. Inuyasha-sama's obviously still trying to locate you, Kagome. Master Inuyasha
must be killing those women because, when he tracks down a twenty-year old woman, but finds the scent doesn't
belong to you, his demon blood gets upset, and kills them. We must also keep in mind that Inuyasha-sama is losing
his own soul. He's not even able to recognize himself." Myoga finished, with his head bowed down in shame.
"Okay, but.........I didn't think Inuyasha was the cloaked figure, I thought it was you, Sakura," Kagome stated
confusedly.
"Well, mom, I was dressed as a cloaked figure, but it was only to keep the police away from Inuyasha. I didn't
want them to kill dad," Sakura whimpered.
Kagome stood up from the couch, and walked towards the window. She looked outside, only to find that
it was raining.
The reain really suited her mood right about now. Rain is like tears, the world's own way to show that it's crying.
Kagome felt like crying as well, she would've cried, but she was fresh out of tears. She would cry forever, until
her husband was back to his normal self, but she had cried herself out.
Pacing around the room, Kagome spoke what was on her mind.
"Everyone, we have to find Inuyasha. We cannot let my husband be killed. I won't let him lose his soul either!
There has got to be a way to get ahold of him," Kagome paced past Hakkaku and Ginta.
"Sis, maybe we could just wait for him to come to us. He'll recognize your scent eventually," Hakkaku and
Ginta exclaimed to Kagome.
"That's foolish! If we wait around, who knows how many more innocent women will be killed. I can't stand it!
Even if it is my father, I won't allow him to do this. I'll take him down myself if I have to," Sakura cried
once more, tears streaming down her face.
Kagome paced up and down again. She could always use the Shikon Jewel to make things right again,
but what if it took her wish the wrong way, like it had for Sango and Miroku?
That was defenitally out of the question.
"Well guys, I'll be going then. Sakura, may I please borrow your cloak," Kagome asked her daughter,
while reaching for the doorknob.
"Why! Where could you possibly be going at this time?" Sakura cried out.
Even if it was her father out there, causing all the damage, Sakura was still frightened for her mother.
What if Inuyasha didn't recognize Kagome? What if they were wrong about the murderer being Inuyasha?
No, it couldn't be that.......Myoga knew it was Inuyasha. However, if Inuyasha didn't recognize Kagome,
her mom would be at his mercy, and Sakura didn't know if she'd have enough courage to be able to put
a stop to him.
"I'm going to put a stop to this. I'm going to find Inuyasha," Kagome explained in a voice so cold, even
Lord Sesshomaru, who had just returned from his room, had to raise a brow.
"Kagome-sama, at least wait until tomarrow to do this. Maybe by then, we'll have a better plan. You should
at least get some rest now, you've had a rough day," Miroku muttered quietly from the corner of the room.
Sango had fallen asleep on Miroku's shoulder, and Kirara had fallen asleep on Shippo's. Both men were
blushing madly, at having been caught in such a position. Kagome just stared at them, her eyes sparkling
with mischief.
"Here mom, I'll lead you to your room," Sakura whispered, her voice going hoarse from all her wailing.
Kagome stood up, and Sakura grabbed her by the arm, leading her through the long halls once again. Kagome
would never get used to the size of Sesshomaru's mansion.She thought she might get lost in there for weeks,
if it weren't for her helpful daughter leading her around.
Sakura stopped at the double doors, in which Kagome's room was right behind.
"I'll leave you here mother. Tomarrow, we'll find a way to find father. We will have him returned to us," Sakura
calmly murmered while walking away.
Kagome opened the doors, and stared into the room she had awoken in that morning.
"I'll never get used to this place," Kagome muttered to herself, as she prepared herself for bed.
She flicked off the light, and stepped onto the large balcony, wearing some brand new, silk pajamas she
had discovered in the back of her closet. Kagome looked up towards the sky, and watched the droplets
of water pour onto her face.
A strange shuffling sound was heard behind her, and Kagome quickly turned her head over towards the door,
leading to her room.
"Hmmm.......Must be the wind," Kagome thought to herself, as she turned her head to the front again.
Staring at her with glowing, red eyes, was the cloaked figure Kagome had seen on the television. She didn't
scream though, what good would that do her? Instead, she looked straight at it. The creature's neon, blue pupils
narrowed on Kagome, as she stood up. It jumped towards her, landing only an inch away from her face. The creature's
eyes glowed in recognition, after taking a whiff of Kagome's scent. It took a step away from her, and looked her over,
smirking when it was through.
Kagome gulped loadly, hoping that her friends were correct about the creature standing in front of her. She
hoped he really was Inuyasha, her long, lost husband.
She walked towards the cloaked figure, and the creature's smirk grew even wider, showing off it's gleaming fangs.
"Welcome back.....................................................my Inuyasha."
(AN: Well, I hope you liked this part of the story. Sorry though, I'm going to have to leave you here. I have to go
to Florida on Saturday, and I probably won't be able to get on. I'll be sure to write lots of chapters for the
week I'm gone though. That I can promise! Please review!)
